ARMS is Auckland’s specialist settlement support agency, providing  support and assistance for skilled migrants, international students, other work visa holders,  former refugees and their families. Our programmes and services are delivered in several locations across Auckland.

Since 2003, our dedicated staff, volunteers and community partners have provided specialist settlement, orientation, training and employment services for over 30,000 clients.

We provide a range of settlement information workshops and events for ethnic communities and have a joint partnership with Auckland Refugee Community Coalition on two community development projects – the WISE (Women Strong Inspired Strong Empowered and Enterprising) Collective, supporting former refugee women in becoming independent and connected), and Safari Multicultural Playgroup Projects – three playgroups for migrant and former refugee mums and children.
